of the Slate went down to Augusta some time
iice. and stopped at one of the hotels. The
next morning he reported to the proprietor
that his watch had been stolen during the
night. The door of his room was found to be
ail right, aud it liad tieen scarcely locked.
Every effort was made to find out who stole
the watch from the guest, who declared it had
been stolen. Not the slightest clue could be
found. Finally, months afterward the hotel
proprietor wrote to his former guest that he
Had something; and when the man who had
lost the watch went down to see what it was,
the hotel man told him he had accidentally
b'und the watch at the watch-maker’s,where
the guest had left it himself the night before
lie stopped at the hotel. The man said: ‘Oh,
yes, I forgot about leaving it there, and
would never have thought of it again.' "
The .Athens Banner- Watchman's “Man
About Town” says: “Col. 1. W. Avery tells
us that he si>ent Thursday night of this week
with Paul H. Hayne, the great Southern poet.
He lives in a plain little cottage in the pinev
woods near Augusta, Ga., but the tasty hands
of his accomplished and amiable lady have
transformed it into a regular rural Eden. On
every side you see the evidences of refined in
dustry and bktil. The sitting room is pa|ered
with illustrations clipped from pai>ers, and so
arranged as to make a beautiful effect. Mr.
Havms is small of stature,but a most jovial and
genial companion. His ill-health prevents
bis mingling more freely with the world.
Go!. Avery tells us that Mr. Hayne
permitted him to read a poem that

j He describes a cyclone as “The untranslated

derful ]>oem. and will rank as one of the
j grandest productions of this gifted gen tie
j man. When the storm had parsed, Mr. Hayne
I walked out into his poren to see the ex
j tent of the damage, when, in a bower of vines
that hides lus porch, he saw a little bird
at work building its nest. The change was
so startling that the poet ut once returned to

tion of a furniture manufactory just west
of the Sinclair real estate agency, amkwho
contemplated putting in steam power aud
operating machinery in their business, were
stopped by an injunction a few days ago.
The reason of the opposition was the danger
to adjacent property from their fire required
to operate machinery, the insurance agents
refusing to carry- risks on property in that
vicinity if such additional danger was permit
ted."
A Winter Park correspondent writes the

trees that would bear in a year or two, be

DH. MARY WALKER IN THE RING
She Blacks an African’s Optic, ami
knocks Him Out in One Round.
Washington, March 11.—Dr. Mary
Walker, Washington’s celebrated female
character, who insists upon appearing at
all times in male attire, indulged in some
pugilistic exercise at the capitol this after
noon. Between 12 and 1 o’clock she en
tered the room of the House Committee
on Claims to attend to some private busi
ness. Before she did so she lifted her silk
hat and sat it down upon a box in the cor
ridor beside the door. Entering the room
she took a seat at the committee’s table,
find began rummaging over some papers.
In a few minutes the door opened and in
stalked a colored messetlger. On his head
was cocked, in a saucy manner, Dr.
Mary’s hat.
“Is this your tile, Dr. Marv?” he in
quired, in a tone she thought altogether
impudent.
“It is my hat, l thank you,” she re
plied: “and what are vou, you black
rascal, doing with it on your head?”
The colored man tipped the tile, smiled,
and handed it to her, and then withdrew
to the corridor. Dr. Mary tolloweu him
with rage beaming in her eyes:
“I want to know what makes you so
impudent, you puppy?” she continued,
when the two were in the corridor. Then
she uncorked the jug of her wrath, and
poured it out upon the unsophisticated
head of the darkey until he was blacker
than midnight. Finally the colored man
began to sass back.
USING HER FISTS.
This precipitated the storm. Swelling
with rage, she rushed at the colored man
remarking, “Take that,” and she planted
a well delivered blow in the immediate
locality of his optic. He staggered, re
gained his footing and fled precipitately.
Dr. Mary did not pursue him. His eye
began swelling aud it is said that the
punishment proved severe. A wag who
saw Dr. Mary enter the committee room
put up the prank and persuaded the col
ored man to don the hat. Those who saw
the encounter take sides with the woman
anti say that the castigation was a just
one. There were no arrests.
MEXICAN TREATY RATIFIED.
Four Hours of Discussion Precedes the
Result.
Washington, March 11.— After four
hours consideration the Senate to-day
ratified the Mexican treaty.
The division on the ratification is be
lieved to be as follows:
Yeas.— Messrs. Allison, Bayard, Beck, Blair,
Bowen, Camden, Cameron of Wisconsin,
Cockrell, Coke. Cullom, Dawes. Dolph, Ed
munds, Fair, Farley, Frve, George, Groome,
Harris, Harrison, Hill, Hoar, Ingalls, Jack

ger, Gibson, Gorman, Hamilton, Hawley,
Jonas, Jones of Florida, Henna, Mahone,
Mitchell, Morri !, Palmer, Platt, Sewell, Sher
man. Vance aud Williams— 2o.
The debate which preceded the vote is
described as devoid of incident and un
productive of result, the Senators having
long since formed their opinions in fa
vor of or against the treaty.
Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, made the first
and longest speech, and was, ot course,
against the treaty, on the ground that it
admits free sugar in competition with the
chief staple of his State.
-Messrs. Jonas, Conger and others spoke
against the treaty, and Messrs. Coke,
Miller of California, and one or two more
Senatois made short speeches in support
of it. During the day several amend
ments were offered, voted upon, and lost.
Among them were two offered by Senator

THE BANKRUPT 8181,.
Representative Collins Thinks It will
Ultimately Pass.
Washington, March 11.—Hepresentii
tive Collins, of Massachusetts, who has
charge of the bankruptcy bill in the
House, says that the measure will not
come up for consideration for several
weeks yet. “The committee has already
two calls,” said Mr. Collins, “and we shall
make no attempt to have a day set apart
for the consideration of the bankruptcy
bill until business under those calls is
disposed of.”
“How does the Judiciary Committee
stand upon the question?”
There are three members who have re
served the right to speak and
vote against the bill, and three more
who said that they desired to go in to the
House with the privilege of objecting to
the bill in part and of offering such
amendments as they think proper, after
having thoroughly considered all the pro
visions of the bill. It is on this account
that I shall not' endeavor to hurry mat
ters. I want every one to have the fullest
opportunity to read the bill carefully
before it is called up.”
“What in yourox>inion are the prospects
of its ultimate passage?”
“I cannot say what the debate may
develope in the way of opposition, but I
think it will ultimately go through.”
ARTHUR TO VETO THE BILL.
Mis Intention as Hinted to a Labor Dele
gation from Ohio.
Washington, March 11.—To-day a
committee of iron-workers, representing
the laborers and mechanics of Youngs
town, Ohio, and composed of Thomas
Williams, D. T. Williams, A. C. White,
Thomas Cartwrisrht and AY. K. Chapman,
called upon the President and asked him
to refuse to sign any bill reducing the
tariff, especially the Morrison bill. The
President replied that his position on the
subject was well understood; which the
committee interpreted to mean that the
bill would be vetoed should it ever reach
the Executive in anything its present
form.
Captain Hopkins’ Restoration.
Washington, March 11.—The House
Xaval Committee to-day agreed to report
SAVANNAH, XVEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 188 b.
i favorably the bill restoring Captain Al

charge of the Pensacola navy
yard during the yellow fever epi
demic of 1883, and was dismissed by
the naval court martial on a charge of de
serting his post without permission. He
had asked the Secretary of the Navy to
allow officers who were not needed to
leave Pensacola during the epidemic, and
on the desired permission being granted
he himself left the city.
Mr. Morrison's Bill.
Washington, March 11.— Mr. Morri

COL. CASH IN JAIL.
His Quarters a X'eritable Parlor and liis
Lot not a Hard One.
Charleston, March 11.—A special
from Columbia reports the arrival there
of Col. E. B. C. Cash, aud his incarcera
tion in jail. When turned over to the
Sheriff Cash was exceedingly polite, and
said: “ Well, Mr. Sheriff, I want you to
understand me exactly. I offer no resist
ance to you. I will go anywhere you de
sire to carry me, but Ido most solemnly
protest against going to jail, and against
this whole proceeding.”
THE colonel’s quarters.
Cash was placed in what is called “the
parlor.” The room is on the first floor in
the north wing ot the building, is large,
well ventilated, lias a large fireplace, in
which an old-time lire is kept blazing,
and is comfortably furnished with carpet,
cushioned chairs, rockers, a sofa, etc.,
xvith here and there a picture hung on the
wall. Altogether, so far as quarters are
concerned, the Colonel is x’ery comfort
able. No one is allowed to call on him
except at his special request.
6TEPS TO FREE HIM.
K. C. Watts, one of the counsel for
Cash, now in Columbia, will sue out a
writ of habeas corpus before the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court to “inquire
into the illegal detention and arrest of E.
B. C. Cash.” The Attorney General has
also been notified. The Solicitor, who is
now engaged in getting up evidence, will
come to Columbia. Under the rules of
practice, the officer xvlio is served xvith a
rule has three days in which to make a
return.
Up to 12:30 o’clock p. m. to-day no news
had been received of Boggan Cash.

NUTS AND BOLTS NOT WANTED.
The Depression Attributed to Tariff
Tinkering and the Coming Election.
Pittsburg, March 11. —A delegate who
has just returned from a secret meeting
ot the Nut and Bolt Manufacturers’
Union of the United States, held in New
York last week, says that never in the
history of the trade has there been such
a depression as at present. He did not
suppose that out oGfortv-two firms in the
country there was one making over nine
days out of two xveeks work. Fifteen
thousand men were interested in the
branch of manufacturing, and $2,500,000
capital xvas invested. The Presidential
election and tariff tinkering, he said,
xvas responsible for the depression,and he
did not think that there was much pros
pect of a renewal of business until after
the November election and the settlement
of the tariff.

The Governor of Delaware Takes a Novel
Method of Dodging a Law.
XVILMINGTON. Del. v March 11.—The
Governor has respited Lewis F. List until
the second Friday of March, 1(140. The
culprit was to have been hanged next
Friday for the murder of Geo. B. Taylor
in September, 1883. It was generally con
ceded that his offense was no more than
one of murder iu the second degree, and
as the Governor has no power to commute
a sentence lie has granted a respite of
over 50 years, this amounting iu fact to
imprisonment for life.

MORRISON’S TARIFF BILL.
THE COMMITTEE REPORTS IT
’favorably.
A Minority Report also Presented—The
Effect of the Proposed Reduction on
Wages as Seen from Both Sides—The
Present Condition of Manufacturing,
with its Causes.
Washington, 3larch 11.—The major
ity report from the Ways and Means Com
mittee upon the tariff bill to-day is as fol
lows-
The Committee on Wavs and Means, to
which was referred so much of the President's
message and accompanying documents as re
lates to revenue, respectfully renoits that in
said message aud accompanying documents
the President lias deemed it lus duty to give
to Congress information as follows: “To make
a start in the proposed reduction of revenue
from imports the Tariff Commission had
been created. In good faith it undertook the
work. Iu its report to Congress it said:
‘Early in its deliberations the Commission
became convinced that a substantial reduc
tion of tariff duties is demanded, not by
mere indiscriminate popular clamor but by
the best conservative opinion of the country,
such reduction of the existing tariff, the
commission regards not only as due the recog
nition of public sentiment "and as a measure
of justice to consumers, but are conducive to
tlie general industrial pr*si.e ruv, and which,
though it may be temporarily inconvenient,
will lie ultimately beneficial to ttie special in
terests affected by such reduction. Entertain
ing these views the commission lias sought to
present a scheme of tariff duties in which a
substantial reduction should he the distin
guishing feature. The average reduction iu
rates, including that from the enlarge
ments of the free list and the abolition
of duties on charges and comm ssions,
at which the commission has arrived, isuotless
on an average than 20 per cent., and it is the
opinion of the commission that the reduction
will reach 25 percent.’ ”
REDUCTION IN REVNUE.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Finance, iti explanation of the hill before the
Senate last year, which, after various amend
ments, became a law, estimated at $45,000,000
tlie reduction of revenue which would fol
low the changes in tlie tariff proposed thereby.
These calculations have not been verified. So
the question still presses: What legislation is
necessary to relieve the people of unnecessary
taxes? Your committee find that in the first
six months, ending December 31, 1883, under
tlie act of March 3, 1883, (new law),
dutiable merchandise was imported
into the United States valued
at $235,898,109, on which duties were paid
amounting to $96,514,136, being 40.94-100 per
cent, on tlie Value thereof. In tlie correspond
ing six months of the year 1882, under tlie oid
law tlie value of dutiable exports amounted
to $200,856,2*3 aud tlie duty paid was $111,206,-
507 or 42.03 per cent, on the value. It thus ap
pears that tlie average cost of importing
goods valued at $lOO was only 174-100 per cent,
less under the new than under the old law.
This exhibit of reduction in rates made by
tlie act of March 3, 1883, amounting to 174-100
per cent, of the duty is subject to an un
important modification resulting from changes
in value and other conditions, some of which
increase and others reduce the comparative
ad valorem rates.
A REDUCTION OP 20 PER CENT.
The nominal reduction made bv (lie pro
posed bill is 20 per cent., or one-fifth of tlie
present rates. With the Morrill tariff limita
tions in tlie hill, and liquor and silk schedules
omitted, as they are. the actual reduction on
the basis of last year’s imports will not exceed
15.74 per cent, on the whole importation of
dutiable goods. Together the average reduc
tion made in tlie Tariff Commission bill (act of
March 3, 1883), and that to lie made by the
proposed hill, do not equal tlie reduction at
which tlie commission aimed. Wood, sawed
lumber, coal and salt are of such
universal use among us, and so necessary to
all tlie people, that in view of the present
abundant Treasury receipts it is not deemed
advisable longer to obtain revenue from the
tax on these articles.
WHENCE THE DECREASE COMES.
The decrease in revenue, as shown bv the
receipts under the new law other than that
resulting from the nominal reduction of 174-
100 per cent., results from a falling off to the
value of nearly $25,000,000 of imports in the
first half of the year, under tlie new law as
compared with the first lialf of the previous
year under the old law. Tlie reduction of
revenue receipts under the bill
reported is estimated at $31,000,000
on tlie basis of last year's iinnorts.
To tiie extent of that $31,000,000 the bill will
relieve the people of unnecessary taxes. To
tiiat extent taxes w ill be reduced directly as
a measure of justice to tlie consumers, aud
indirectly in largely increased proportions
From a statement made by the- Bureau of
Statistics, a copy of which is appended to this
report, it appears tiiat the duty or tariff taxes
were decreased on some and increased on
other articles of imported goods under tlie
act of March last (new law). While this is
true, there lias been no increase of rates of
wages in any, but a reduction of wages in
most industries, as well in those whose com
peting products received more as in those
tiiat obtained less protection under the act of
March last.
M ANI'F ACTUBIXG NOT IN' GOOD CONDITION.
The condition of manufacturing industries
is not satisfactory. In common with other
industries they o n lv recovered late in 1879
from the reversed or partial paralysis of live
years’duration. i„ less than three rears
after this recovery such new evidences of in
dustrial adversity appeared that in one of the
largest, best paying and best paid industries—
iron and steel—a calamity of four months’
stoppages and idleness fell upon the workers
dependent upon it, not upon the capital
invested in it. in the annual report of the
American Iron and Steel Association for the
year 1882, made May 1, 1883. by James M.
Swank, Secretary of the association, he savs:
At the beginning of June nearly all mills
referred to (rolling mills of -Pittsburg and the
\X est) were closed by a general strike, which
continued until last September, when work
was resumed upon the scale of wages which
had previously prevailed.”
EFFECTS OF PROTECTION.
During the strike of four months the prices
of rolled iron did not advance, notwithstand
ing. ” ,c * stoppage of ho mauy mills, a fact
which clearly demonstrated that the ca
pacity to produce this form of iron
bad again, as in panic years, exceeded the
demand. At the same time it must he frankly
admitted that our rolling mill capacity lias
for some time been in advance of the con
sumptive wants of the country, and that the
check to the overproduction of rolled iron
which was afforded by the strike of 1882 was
! u no sense a calamity to manufacturers. It
is believed that the condition of the iron and
steel industries and of the workers in them
lias not much changed since 1882; that the
condition of other industries is not unlike,
and differs only iu degree from iron
and steel; that the calamity of frequent
recurring industrial embarrassment and en
force idleness is inseparable from the enor
mities of our protected system, and that the
calamities of such a system always fall upon
the laboring poor. X’our committee therefore
report a bill to reduce the import duties and
war tarifl taxes, with a recommendation that
it be paused as a measure of partial relief to
the people from unnecessary taxes “as a
measure of justice to consumers,” and "con
ducive to general industrial prosperity.”
THE MINORITY REPORT.
The minority report was prepared by
Xlr. McKinley, of Ohio. After an intro
duction giving the historv of taritf legis
lation since 1864, In which it savs that not
a single interest in the United 'States, ex
cepting the free-trade clubs of New York
and Brooklyn, ha asked for the present
tariff bill, hut that, on the contrary,
many interests have asked for an increase
ol duties—notably the wool growers—the
minority say;
XX’hile we do not believe it proper at this
time to enter upon a fresh revision of tiie
tariff, there are some irregularities found in
the present law which it would be only lust
to correct. Among these wire rods, cotton
ties and tin plates hear greatly disproportion
ate duties to kindred articles, anil should lie
made consistent anil harmonious. In addi
tion to the foregoing we are opiiosed to the
bill because—
Firet. It wyi disturb business. (Discussion
of it in the committee has already done this.)
It will unsettle values, retard incipient en
terprises. cripple those now established, im
pair confluence among business men, so es
sential to our development and prosperity
and bring no countervailing benefits. ''
AN ALLEGED EFFECT ON LABOR.
Second . It will of necessity force down the
price of labor In the United States. It will
stimulate imports, increase competition from
abroad, which can only be successfully met by
redueiug the cost of home product. The testi
mony is uniform, and not contradicted, that
labor will be compelled to submit to a large
share of the reduction. Mr. Wm. Wethe, the
President of the largest labor organization in
the country, said, in his statement before the
committee, that any reduction of duties would
reduce the price of labor generally. We can
not too strongly emphasize our opposition to
any legislation'which even tends to reduce our
labor to the foreign standard either in price
or condition. The maintenance of a fair and
adequate scale of wages for American work
ingmen is indispem able to their comfort, their
well being ami the education of their families
is essential to the good order of our society,’
the stability of our institutions and the wel
fare and progress of ourconntry.
Third , This proposed reduction will inev
itably increase foreign importation, and as a
consequence will, as all experience teaches
increase our revenues, to which increase
every interest of the country is opposed.
ONLY HURTFUL.
Fourth. It is wholly unnecessary, unjustifi
able in every respect and to every Amer
can interest only hurtful. The enormous in
crease of the capital wealth of the country
<1 urine the last 15 vears under a protective
tariff now forces capital to seek employment
in the development of all mineral, agricul
tural and other resources to the advantage
and gain of all our people, and a change or
modification of the system will create such
doubt of successful enterprises as to check this
useful tendency and thwart national develop
ment. the progress of which is without prece
dent in the civilized world.
Fifth. It has none of the merits of a care
fully matured tariff bill. It is not the result
of studious consideration of the interests of
our people, their investments and employ
ments, or of the condition of the public treas
ury. It proposes to reduce alike the dutvupon
every articleof foreign import indiscriminate
ly and without any- examination of its effect
ttiion particular industries, and wholly ignor
ing its necessary effect in advancing prices
abroad by the destruction of competition at
home. It bile nominally it is a uniform re
duction in fact, it is grossly unequal under
the limitations of the bill, and it will he found
difficult, if not impracticable, of execution. It
is a leap In the dark.
THE AD VALOREM FEATURES.
Sixth. That feature of the bill which ap
plies ad valorem rates to most of the sched
ules affecied by it is especially objectiona
ble, because it will greatly increase' the ex
isting evil of under-valuation and consequent
frauds upon the revenue as well as so com
plicate the rule of assessmeet of duties as to
greatly embarrass the administration of the
law. Against the statement of the majority
as to the effect of protective duties upon
wages and on the laboring poor is the state
ment of workmen themselves before the com
mittee who may he fairly allowed to speak
for themselves on a question so vital to them,
all unite in declaring that protective duties
are essential to fair aud remunerative wages,
and that every reduction of said
duties will inevitably result in the lowering
of the standard of American wages. XX’e dis
sent radically from the statement of the ma
jority of the committee that a reduction of
duties lightens by so much the burdens of
taxation.
A LESSON FROM TIIE PAST.
The whole history of our national experience
siiows a constantly decreasing price as au
effect of increased home competition. The re
duction of duties which destroys our produc
tion aud competition as iuevitiiblv results in
putting up the price demanded bv our foreign
rivals. Iu the belief that the late tariff leg
islation would remain without material
change for a period of years, business has
adjusted itself to it, producers have entered
into contracts and generally arranged their
business in character and volume in conform
ity with it. A!1 classes of our people have
relied upon its reasonable permanence and
freedom from immediate and radical changes.
So that every consideration appeals to Con
gress to let the present law alone and permit
the business of the country to proceed with
out legislative disturbance. XVhat the coun
try wants most Is relief from Congressional
agitation. All of the industries of tiie coun
try are extremely sensitive, and just at this
time, when business is more or less depressed
in every branch, the threat or fearof a change
introduces an element of uncertainty and dis
turbance throughout the country, the evil ef
fects of which no oue can foresee. Twenty per
cent, reduction, or any reduction, however
slight, following so close upon the reduction
made last winter, cannot lie defended as to a
single schedule of the tariff, and, as to many,
it can lie shown to he wholly disastrous. We
believe that if after a sufficient trial of the
effect of the last revision it shall appear that
the industrial interests of the country can he
maintained with it, and the condition of the
Treasury will justy a further revision, such
action will be more wisely undertaken by the
friends of the protective system, and with less
disturbance to the public prosperitv, than if
done now by the avowed advocates of the
deslruction of the American system of pro
tection.
WATER’S WILD WASTE.
Hundreds of Miles of Land Overflowed
liy the Second Great Flood.
New Orleans, March 11.—A X’icks
hurg special says: “The steamer Head
light arrived here to-day from XVilliams’
landing, Sunflower river, 280 miles above
here. The officers report the water at
that point within fin iseh of the highest
point reached last year. All lands from
XVilliams down to Fozonia, a distance of
00 miles, are under water. At Fozonia
the water is rising four inches per day.
There now seems to be no doubt hut that
the greater portion of Y'azoo, Sharkey,
Sunflower, Bolivar, Coahoma counties
aud a large portion of Isecquena countv
will be overflowed.
IN OTHER SECTIONS.
Capt. Sargent, of the steamer Harry,
from Big Deer creek this morning, reports
the water rising rapidly in the creek aDd
iu Sunflower river. The water at Cainp
bellsx ille, on the Sunflower river, is nearly
over the bank and all around the store at
the landing. The land in the neighbor
hood of Rose’s Eddy, Yazoo river, is over
flowed. Many people along the river have
moved away. Others are moving, and
many houses are vacated. Avery strong
muddy current is running into Yazoo
river from Grand Lake.
On Big Deer creek, above Rolling Fork,
there is still plenty of bank land. Being
high, it is believed that the coming water
will not seriously affect that locality.

chants’ Exchange corner, opposite the
telegraph office. Spence was formerly
United States Marshal for the Middle dis
trict of Tennessee, aud was succeeded by

agreement in the settlement of business
matters. XVheat was a member of the

FULLER DETAILS.
Nashville, March 11, 11:30 p. m.— The
following is another account of to-day’s
tragedy: Ex-United States Marshal Ed
ward XVheat was shot twice and killed by
XVilliam Spence, his father-in-law, at
twenty-live minutes past 8 o’clock this
morning, as he was in the act ol crossing
College street, in trout of the Merchants’
Exchange. Spence had followed XX’beat
for more than two blocks. He called to
XVheat once and the latter turned liis
head, hut did not stop or reply.
Spence overtook him on the street cross
ing and fired the first and fatal shot into
XVheat’s back, the bullet penetrating
the heart. Wheat fell on bis back on the
crossing in front of the Exchange.
BRUTAL BUTCHERY.
Spence walked around him and fired a
second 6hot into liis breast, the bullet
shattering a watch in his upper vest
pocket, entering his body between the
seventh and eighth ribs. XVheat groaned
after the first shot, hut never spoke, aud
died almost instantly. The bouy was im
mediately removed to au undertaker’s and
an inquest held. A xerdiet was rendered
in accordance with the above facts. It
declared that the murder was malicious
and unprovoked. After firing the second
shot, Spence made a remark which was
understood to be to the effect that XX'heat
had choked him.
THE MURDERER ARRESTED.
Spence was immediately taken into
custody and his pistol, a self-cocking
Smith & XVesson, with two barrels dis
charged and all the others loaded, was
taken from him by a policeman. He was
committed to jail under a bench warrant.
The trouble is said to have originated
from a business dispute of some years
standing. XVheat was 43 years old and
Spence is 05.
WHEAT’S RECORD IN PEACE AND XVAR.
XVheat was a native of Michigan. He
was the Captain of a Michigan battery,
and afterward the Colonel of a cavalry
regiment in the Federal service in the late
war. He was appointed United States
Marshal under President Grant’s admin
istration. At the time of his death he was
a memberof the firm of Buford, Thomas &
Cos., of this city. He leaves a widow and
two sous, aged respectively 17 aud 15
years.

then appointed for a term of four years bv

quest.
BISMARCK AND SARGENT.
The Antipathy of the German Prince
Founded on the Hog Question.
London, March 11.—A Berlin corre
spondent, referring to the article in the
North American Gazette concerning Mr.
Sargent, says: “The article is a bolt
forged at the Foreign office to give Mr.
Sargent a coup de grace. Bismarck tells
the Americans that they have sent a man
with whom he refused to hold diplomatic
relations. It is for Americans to judge
this treatment of their accredited envoy.”
The reference to Mr. Sargent’s journal
istic activity is an allusion to the fact
that Mr. Sargent, in his report to Wash
ington, described the pig meat interdic
tion as more an agrarian than a sanitary
measure. The report was copied by a
New York newspaper from statistics
issued by the State Department and was
assumed to be a direct contribution by
Mr. Sargent. This assumption has col
ored the whole attitude of the Executive
toward Mr. Sargent.
A FRENCH SURPRISE FOR THE GERMANS.
The North German Gazette considers it
noteworthy that an article should have
appeal ed in Le Journal des Debats of Pa
ris which expressed approval of Prince
Bismarck’s action in regard to the Lasker
resolution, as it had not been expected
that a French journal should judge Prince
Bismarck favorably.

CIRCULAR NOT A BAD LOT.
“Political Fanaticism” Their Worst
Fault in the Eyes of the Witness ’—The
Colonel's Method* In Politics as
Disclosed in One of His “Confidential”
Letters.
Washington, March 11.—The cross*
examination of Col. W. E. Sims by Sena
tor Vance in the Danville investigation
this morning was a long one, but much ol
it was a repetition and elaboration ol
points already brought out.
Col. Sims, in answer to a series of inquiries,
described the circumstance under which he
became the candidate of the lteadjusters for
Congress. He was asked if he was not, up to
1882, a candidate for political honors from the
Conservative party. He said in substance
that there had been times when he would
have accepted an oilice at the hands of that
party, hut lie had not taken the initiative in
securing the oilice. His friends asked him to
become a candidate before the convention,
and he had written a letter for publication,
setting forth his sentiments. Ho had no idea
that the convention would accept him as
their candidate, entertaining such sentiments.
SIMS AS A WIKK rt'LLKR.
Senator Vance produced and the witness
identified the following letter: "Conlldeutial
—Dear Clarke: I write hurriedly to remtud
you that to-morrow is the day for Dan river
district to meet to appoint delegates at Shep
herd’s store. Go down by all means and have
yourself and any others you can inilueuceap
pointed delegates to go to Martinsville on the
*llst. Dr. Williams will lie there, moving
heaven and earth for Cabell. Get yourself
and men you can manage appointed if possi
ble. Don’t try to get all, hut get as many as
you can. Try to have old man sheltou ap
pointed. 1 have uot tried to get a delegate Tu
Dan river, but think you can work some iu bv
proper management. If .lack Clark is forme,
or against Cabell, get him to go to BrosvHle
to-morrow and work with Jim Collie and
other friends there, and if he is not for me
don’t say a word to him. The meetings are
advertised for 3 o’clock. You had better be
on hand sooner. Conceal your purposes as
far as possible. Yours truly,
W. E. Sims.
SIMS' CRITICISM.
The witness said, by way of comment, that
lie had known His opponents to do many mean
and diyty things, but never before to get pos
session of and publish a private letter
marked eon Aden tial. There was nothing in it,
however, which lie would conceal. In respect
to acts of violence threatened and perpetrated
by colored men the witness possessed no
knowledge, except in two instances. In both
or these he volunteered to prosecute the
offenders and did so. in respect to the wit
ness’ Danville speech he admitted that he in
cidentally called them {the signers of the cir
cular) liars and incidentally called them
cowards, but he ilid not apply these epithets
to signers individually by name.
SIMS’ OPINION OK THE PETITION’S SIGNERS.
The witness read over the namesof the sign
ers of the Danville circular, and, with some
hesitation, gave his opinion Y>f those he knew.
A majority were fairly honorable men iu the
ordinary meaning of the term, but they
thought, in accordauce with current senti
ment, Unit they were doing God’s service iu
preventing the negro from votiug. If church
men, this was part of their creed. They would
even lie for political ends, doing evil that good
might come. These men were the exponents
of the prevalent public sentiment. They
thought great injustice was done them when
the vote was given to colored men.
SIMS’ CHARACTER.
Senator \ ante asked if strong imputations
hail not been made airainst the witness’ own
character?
The witness replied that there was nothing
until lie became a Headjuster.
Some discussion arose with regard to the
propriety ot questioning the witness on this
point.
Senater \ ancc said that when his own wit
nesses were called it was probable that this
witness’ character would be attacked.
The witness rejoined that all he wanted
was the privilege of questioning anyone who
brought charges against his personal char
acter.
A BAI) STATE OK AFKAIRS.
The witness said: “I don’t assail the per
sonal integrity or truthfulness of any man I
have s]iken of here except in connection
with these matters; and, as I tell you, I think
that the sentiment of those people there is
that they are justifiable in telling any mean
lie or doing any mean, dirty little thing for
political ends.”
Senator Vance—Well, you cannot describe a
much lower state of society, if that is true.
The witness: ”1 can’t help that sir.”
1 iic witness admitted in reply to inquiries
that lie knew that some of the men in the
crowd to whom his remarks would give of
fense were men of pluck. Ho did not, how
ever, suppose that they would shoot anybody
else for what he said.
PANVII.LE ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4.
Speaking of the condition of affairs
in Danville Sunday, November 4, to
which the witness bad referred in a note to
the Governor, as follows: “The town is In
control of an armed mob;” the witness said
that armed men were nominally in charge of
the. Town Sergeant, but some of the squads of
police were under command of the most ac
tive of the rioters of the day before.
In answer to Senator Sherman, the witness
said that so far as he knew and believed not
one of the signers of the Danville circular
would tell a iie for persona! gain. They were
inspired" by what might lie called political
fanaticism. The witness regarded the sub
stitution of false ballots for bis own as highly
dishonorable, lint lie did not suppose that the.
men who had done this thought it so. This
ended the examination.
Mr. \ ance asked Mr. Sherman when he was
to be allowed to summon witnesses.
Mr. Sherman said that he could not tell.
I’he difficulty with regard to I he appropriation
did not arise from any indisposition to allow a
full investigation, but because of the senti
ment in the House with regard to the pay
ment of Senators’ secretaries. The matter
would, lie tliought.be arranged by the com
mittee within a day or two.

Paris, March 11. — Prince Jerome Na

I am not rich, like the Orleans Princes,
but I respect the sovereignty of the peo

pulsion of the Orleans Princes from
France is constantly gaining strength.
